Best Answer

The word Olympian refers to Mount Olympus, in Greece. In Shakespeare's day, people would have connected this with the myths of the Greek Gods, who were supposed to live on Mount Olympus. Nowadays we are more likely to think of the Olympic Games, modeled on games held in ancient Greece at Olympia.
